Epidsode 15: Openheartedness and Discovering your Essence through Exploring Awareness.

Exploring Awareness

In this episode, Frank and Lisa explore openheartedness as one of the qualities that emerges when using mindfulness techniques to explore awareness. Who would you be, if, no matter what, you could be openhearted? Issues, events, people’s decisions and acting out from bias and fear can create negative thoughts that lead to a reaction of close heartedness. Today, we discuss a space “before” thoughts that is vast, open and freeing. We use the word “essence” to point to the quality that exists within that will guide us, if we let it. When we “wake up” from thoughts, we can experience life in a very different way. We use quotes from Ram Dass, Tara Brach and Adyashanti to guide the discussion. The question is always “how”- and that’s where your own personal experience with meditation and exploring awareness comes in. Meditation then doesn’t become a chore, but an opportunity to experience a “special” place that opens a place for openheartedness. These words are a guide to your own personal experience of openheartedness so instead of reaction, the response is guided by unconditional love and peace and joy.
